SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 02, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- EPSO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Xobni, the popular Microsoft Outlook search and relationship plug-in, today announced Xobni Enterprise, a new service that gives businesses of all sizes the ability to deploy and manage Xobni to employees and create customizable extensions to increase productivity and efficiency within the work place.

The success of email as the primary tool for business in the last 20 years has come with a significant cost for workers and companies: information overload. The amount of information and number of relationships people have to manage is spiraling out of control and workers are being forced to spend significant time at work searching for details that are critical to a company's success. According to Basex, a knowledge economy research firm, the growing trend of information overload in businesses cost the U.S. economy more than $900 billion last year.

Xobni Enterprise builds on Xobni's popular existing service to solve email overload, and can be easily deployed and managed by IT administrators. Xobni Enterprise also provides the framework to create and implement enterprise extensions for high-value services such as Salesforce CRM, SharePoint, and company profile information via LDAP or internal company websites. The extensions are available for development, creating a rich ecosystem of solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Xobni has the most advanced search and relationship-management solutions available for Microsoft Outlook. With Xobni, users quickly find critical information buried deep in their inbox, along with key attachments, contact information, calendar invites, and more. The average Xobni user saves more than 30 minutes a week, according to a recent Xobni survey, giving a measurable boost to productivity levels over time.

"Xobni is used by employees in 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies," said Jeff Bonforte, Xobni CEO. "With Xobni Enterprise, companies of all sizes can dramatically increase the productivity of their workforces."

Xobni Enterprise gives companies the power to easily deploy, manage and extend capabilities within their organizations. Features include:

    --  Centralized Deployment and Management: Web-based portal lets customers
        manage user profiles, groups and access to Xobni Extensions
    --  Extensions SDK: Customers can easily add their own custom extensions for
        Xobni, automatically bringing key information and applications to the
        inbox
    --  Integration with LDAP, SharePoint and Salesforce.com: New Xobni
        Extensions give employees access to coworker LDAP profiles, CRM and
        collaboration data directly within Outlook(1)
    --  Corporate Directory Integration: Retrieve corporate profile information
        from LDAP/Active Directory services
    --  Advanced Search Capabilities: Xobni search expanded to include calendar
        appointments, tasks and archived PST files

        can now be accessed from the auto-complete feature in the Outlook
        compose window
